HOW TO DEAL WITH ORAL PATHOGENIC
Keywords:
antimicrobial agents, Chlorhexidine, Cetylpyridinium chloride, Benzalkonium chloride, Thymol, Fluorine, Hydrogen peroxideAbstract
The fact that bacteria are one of the most important contributors to the genesis of dental disease raises the question of how to eradicate or decrease them to acceptable levels. There are several medications and procedures for preserving oral health. New scientific and technological advancements in the field of prevention equip us with a plethora of new items to improve oral health and care. Some of them are intended for use at home, while others are intended for professional use. Modern mechanical and chemotherapeutical oral hygiene treatments seek to change the oral microbiota and contribute to healthy dental and periodontal tissue. The literature has several categories of anti microbial agents. One of these is the grouping into groups based on chemical properties, and it is this classification that this study will adhere to. This categorization divides anti microbial agents into cationic, anionic, non ionic agents, enzymes, and sugar alcohols. The purpose of this research is to provide a full and comprehensive assessment of antimicrobial agents for oral hygiene, their mode of action on the bacterial cell, and the relevance and value of their use in oral prevention.
